hey guys i was wondering if anyone knew what parts would be interchangable without modification from an 89 si hatchback to an 88 crx si?
and i was also wondering if anyone could give me some info about motor swaps...like how hard are they the first time?
thnx in advanced

 

do some research first man and tell us your goals. But I would go with a blown small block 350 with a 400 trans

 

goals??
my goals are to put my motor into another car...pretty self explanitory isnt it?
and ya a 350...not quite my style...wierd huh
but thnx for the help
your input really helped me

 

just about everything but the seats with some mods. as far as motor swaps, they arent that hard to do, just do ur homework and prep up. bag and lable every nutt and bolt. what engine do u plan on puttin in.

 

right now i have an 89 hatch si with a 92 GSR motor but i slid into a curb like last year and messed up the frame/body whatever....so now the motor is goin into an 88 si crx...but ya the b17 is goin into the new car

 

just for the record i wasn't serious. but shitty thing with that curb and all i hope your new project goes well. just swap everything from your other car to that one everything will work. atleast engine wise. Thats cool they are both si so you won't have to mess with the hubs, you will be alright

 

the guy that owns the crx im about to buy hit a pole....the front is bent in quite some....are all the parts up front replacable??
like evrything in the center...the headlights are fine but the middle is curved?

 

they are replaceable, but you would have to weld in the radiator support - also, a lot of times when hit in the center, it pulls the frame in on each side and can bend the crossmember - a good body shop can check it and pull the frame back to where it needs to be, if needed

 

great another bent frame ef
my other car the 89 civic also has a bent fram e i think
****

 

has anyone had experiences with this?
i mean with hitting a pole and trying to redo the front?

 

bump for some more info
